:When I "setopt CSH_NULL_GLOB" and do "ls *.cc *.c" in my home directory, it
:lists all the files there (i.e. none of the GLOBs matched anything and they
:have been both removed without error). I was expecting an error, or at the
:very least nothing to be listed. Do I misunderstand this option or is there
:something wrong?
It looks like a bug in zsh. I think you may have NULL_GLOB also set - if
so you will need to unsetopt it until you have a fixed zsh. You also
didn't say which version - though I can reproduce this with 3.0.8 and a
recent development version.
% mkdir foo
% zsh -f
% setopt CSH_NULL_GLOB
% cd foo
% ls *.cc *.c
zsh: no match
% exit
% zsh -f
% setopt cshnullglob nullglob
% cd foo
% ls *.cc *.c
%
"CSH_NULL_GLOB <C>
If a pattern for filename generation has no
matches, delete the pattern from the argument list;
do not report an error unless all the patterns in a
command have no matches. Overrides NULL_GLOB."
